2. The outer portion above the centre of the skull is called Aakash.

          The six chakras are indicated in the attached diagram. The last two without the Chakra are the concentrating points. One has to travel through the six parts before attaining the seventh and eighth place.

Raja Yoga - Part - III

        In the 18th century Saint Sadasiva Bramendrar practiced this Yoga and wrote a separate book on Raja Yoga. The title given by him was Shiva Yoga Deepika. The physical body is meant for yogic practice only. Through practice, the Yogi can attain Gyana through yoga or the Gyani attains Yoga through Gyana. This is the principle of this book. After the attainment of this Yoga, the result is elimination of "Sleshmam". The effect of this on the physical is that it can attain a permanence which means conquering the Death. points. One has to travel through the six parts before attaining the seventh and eighth place.
        The book has sixteen instructions for practice. They are associated with the Six Chakras in Yogic Sastra. In the Raja Yoga, an imaginary straight line starts from the end of the bottom of the spinal cord moving upto the centre of the skull, dividing the body into two equal parts. This is called the Sushumna Nadi. This portion from the spinal cord to the skull is divided into six parts. These are named as follows :

  1. Mooladhara
  2. Swadhistanam
  3. Manipoorakam
  4. Anahattam
  5. Visuddhi
  6. Agnya
